With filming underway, Jessi is focused on achieving a “good balance” between her career and motherhood. “I’m hoping to find balance in 2026,” she articulated, while also expressing a wish to meet one of her favorite pop icons, Taylor Swift.

“I’m a Swiftie,” she stated, explaining her enthusiasm for the “Cruel Summer” artist. “So let’s hope. Fingers crossed.”

As the year wraps up, Jessi looks back on the recently released third season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which prominently featured her marriage and an emotional affair with Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano Brunette. This season also provided a platform for Jessi to share her story more openly, including a poignant moment during a reunion episode where she discussed a traumatic experience from her past.

“I leave nothing on the table. I just say it as it is,” Jessi remarked. “It’s been good because I feel like people can relate to my story, but when I make mistakes, I also try to own that as well. Something I’ve learned is that embracing both the good and the bad is therapeutic, and I find it to be very rewarding.”
